• How to get the moref vCenter for a virtual machine

  I use with the vCloud orchestrator plugin.  I would like to understand how I can access the moref for a virtual machine identifier (as see vcenter) that is contained in a vCloud VAPP.

  Thank you

  Here is something I wrote to do. It uses the query service.

  Note that to be able to do, you need your plugin vCD to be connected to the org of system and use the administrator credentials.

  var vcdHost = vm.getHost();
  var vApp = vm.parent;
  
  var vms = new Array();
  var queryService = vcdHost.getQueryService();
  
  expression = new VclExpression(VclQueryAdminVMField.CONTAINER, vApp.getReference().href, VclExpressionType.EQUALS);
  filter = new VclFilter(expression);
  params = new VclQueryParams();
  params.setFilter(filter);
  
  var resultSet = queryService.queryRecords(VclQueryRecordType.ADMINVM, params);
  while (resultSet != null) {
      var records = resultSet.getRecords(new VclQueryResultAdminVMRecord());
      System.log(records.length + " VM records found");
      for each (var record in records) {
          if (record.name == vm.name) {
              return record.moref;
              }
  
      }
      resultSet = resultSet.getNextPage();
  }

• VMTools fails to run for the virtual machine Windows 2000

  My first post.

  Just installed VMWare Workstation 8.0 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer and I'm trying to create a virtual machine to Windows 2000 Professional from a CD of Installation. I'm trying to resurrect an old machine from the grave of cyber.

  I created a disk image ISO of the installation CD Windows 2000 Pro original and then used the new computer Virtual Assistant to create a new virtual machine from it. Everything was fine, the new virtual machine started using the video driver by default since the installation media. Therefore I could not make any changes to the screen. VM Workstation suggested I have install VMTools.

  But when I installed VMTools, installation fails just before she completed displays a dialog box stating "Setup failed to upgrade Windows Installer.

  So I have reproduced the same process on a copy of VMWorkstaion 6.5.2 running on a Windows XP-based computer by using a copy of the same ISO image. I installed VMTools and completed the installation successfully. Then I cloned the machine and copied to the first machine. The new virtual machine booted up and I was able to make changes to the screen. However, VMWorkstation 8.0 informed the VMTools was outdated and run it again. When I did, it has exactly the same way as it did before.

  Although the new virtual machine created the 6.5.2 VMWorkstation works better, I prefer to have a recent version of VMTools install correctly on this virtual machine.

  Does anyone have any ideas or solutions?

  I think Win2000 needs to be patched to Service Pack 4 to the latest version of VMware and the VMware tools.

• Using iMac as a second screen for macbook pro running Windows 10

  I have a 27-inch iMac mid-2011 running El Capitan I want to use as a target for a 2015 start display 13 inch MacbookPro retina through 10 Windows bootcamp (it's Windows 10 education, for what it's worth).

  I have attached two machines via TB to TB.

  The iMac has no trouble acting as a target for the MacbookPro screen when the MbP running El Capitan, but when I pass the MbP to Windows 10 iMac switch when I type the command-F2.

  In Windows mode, bluetooth and USB work fine on the MbP.

  Thoughts? Thank you.

  Windows has no support for TB or target Display Mode.

• How to connect the physical monitor in a virtual machine?

  I connected a monitor of my laptop, I want to use this screen for my virtual machine running Windows 7, so the virtual machine runs in fullscreen display them on the monitor and not on my laptop. Is this possible? I'm using Vmware workstation.

  WS = Vmware Workstation

  Your laptop must be supported using the second monitor as an extension on the desktop, only not in mirror as it does now. This is done from your video settings, has nothing to do with VMWare.

  Go into your video settings and see if the monitor shows up as Monitor #2, then look for a setting to put it right (or left) of your laptop monitor. My Thinkpad supports this mode.

  Check with the manufacturer of your laptop if necessary. Lou

• How to set the vlan native on a virtual machine in vSphere when you use the 1000V?

  Using the General switch original vSphere, we put VLAN native by VM by setting the VLAN 0 d.

  How do we set VLAN native for a virtual machine, if the virtual computer is connected to a 1000V? I heard that is over, we can use VLAN ID 0?

  Same way as you would on any Cisco switch.

  Add this command to your profile of uplink port:

  switchport trunk vlan native X

  Keep in mind there is no VLAN 0.  VLAN '0' is just how vmware means the VLAN untagged.  There are valid in accordance with the standard 1-4095.

  Kind regards

  I'm afraid to say that you would not be able to change this icon.
  This icon is provided by the hardware manufacturer, and is included in the drivers and architecture has no Windows allows to change this information.

  How to configure the CD driver on the host for a virtual machine?

  Right-click on the virtual computer and go to edit settings. Click the Options tab and under the tip list, there should be Boot Options. Enter an amount of milliseconds to wait before your boot, so you can activate the CD-ROM. You can also activate the CD even if it boots to the NETWORK card option, and then reset the virtual machine. Get the focus of this virtual machine on the console session, and then press ctrl-alt-insert. Your CD-ROM will stay connected if you do not want to delay the startup process.

  Hello

  Add just like a new data store.

  Login to your web access, select your host (not the virtual machines) in the left menu.

  You should see a link on the right side with "Add data store", give it a name of store and add the directory.

  Now, you can add a virtual machine to this place.

  Good luck!
